About Mrs. Raspberry

Hope Diamond

November 20th, 2006 @ 8:30 am by Mrs. Raspberry

While my parents were in town, we went to the Smithsonian Natural History Museum. They have a GREAT gift shop and my mom was in the market for some Christmas gifts.

I can’t resist visiting the gems and jewels exhibit when I visit that museum. I just can’t believe the size of some of the jewels. This is the Hope Diamond, which is the world’s most famous diamond.

Legend says that every owner was cursed. You can read all about it here. Here are a couple of other gems housed at the museum…

I can’t even imagine what it would be like to own something of this size!

OOHH I just had an idea… Maybe the new weddingbees’ little pictures could be illustrations of famous gems in their settings! :)
